Charles Krauthammer Disapproves Of Obama’s ‘Ostentatious Shows Of Religiosity’

video
» 80 comments

More than two years of President Obama being in power, a good number of Americans have no idea what his religious background is– a plurality admitting they have no idea, while an alarming number suggesting he is Muslim. This despite the President discussing his religion publicly and make clear that he is a Christian. Even this latter action, however, seems to be irking some conservatives, like Charles Krauthammer, who considered his recent trips to church “ostentatious” and “somewhat distasteful.”

A recent Pew poll showed that a whole 42% of Americans weren’t sure what the President’s religious background was, this despite open declarations of Christianity from the Obama family. Tonight’s Special Report did not seem to object to the idea of a president having strong religious beliefs, but Krauthammer in particular was skeptical of the President’s latest appearances in church, and found it somewhat problematic for the President to claim that said appearances were genuine. He particularly objected to the appearance that “there is no connection whatsoever between his late and recent ostentatious shows of religiosity, on the other hand, [and] the polls that show on the other hand that only a third of Americans think he’s a Christian. Clearly, he’s acting as a politician.” Krauthammer continued to argue that he did not “begrudge” the President that strategy, but nonetheless found it “somewhat distasteful” on a personal level– “God is not particularly pleased with public shows of religiosity.”

The panel did not unanimously agree, though there was little dissent on the point that President Obama’s religious displays were politically motivated. Stephen Hayes, particularly, agreed with the premise that the Pew poll was behind his latest religious declarations– pointing out that he actually found the level of religion coming out of the President lately quite minimal, having expected “that he would be going to church every day” and “carrying the Bible” everywhere. Unlike Krauthammer, however, Hayes didn’t “have a problem with him… if a public official wants to talk about religion, if it’s what drives his thinking. “I think there’s absolutely nothing wrong,” he concluded. He did not succeed in convincing Krauthammer.

    Then if he said today that he was Muslim or is converting to Muslim do you think that would affect the 2012 election? If he is claiming to be Christian when he isn’t then he would not be the first President or politician to do so. You should have said it shouldn’t matter and doesn’t to you. I would bet that it would matter to you depending on which religion it is. Which one would bother you. Jew, Mormon, Holy Roller, fundamentalist, wicca? Be honest now.

    His religion doesn’t matter but being fake about it does. What else is he trying to do? Maybe moving to the middle so he doesn’t look so liberal and all about getting re-elected. He wants you to believe he can walk on water!

  • timzank

    For God’s Sake (pun intended) Obama is a politician, his lips are moving, an election is coming. You people (left or right) that think he is sincere about his “religion” are skullfu*king mad.

    You should be proud of him for having so few scruples he’ll sell his soul to stay in office.

    Charles Krauthammer is an atheist. He is speaking as a political analyst, which is what he is supposed to do. Krauthammer is a brilliant man of science, If you want to read one of the most beautifully worded takedown of intelligent design you should read his famous essay:

    http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=20051121&slug=krauthammer21

    Let’s be clear. “Intelligent design” may be interesting as theology, but as science it is a fraud. It is a self-enclosed, tautological “theory” whose only holding is that when there are gaps in some area of scientific knowledge — in this case, evolution — they are to be filled by God.

    .
    I think that Krauthammer’s point was a bit broader than just that.

    He took exception, albeit mild, with BHO prefacing his remarks with (paraphrased) “it doesn’t matter what people say about my religion”.

    Krauthammer’s objected to BHO’s habit of claiming he is not being political but those who disagree are the ones being political. A fair point, I think.

    Every president talks about the importance of Christianity in their lives. Every president seeks to mollify the concerns of people who are fervent christians. And cynically some presidents especially George W Bush in my opinion seek to exploit religion to their advantage running for office. I agree with Charles about his criticism of presidents wearing religion on their sleeves using it as a political instrument. Religion should be extricated from politics, but as long as America is so deeply religious don’t expect that to be the case.

    First, I find it sad that anyone (President) is required to have a religion. Personally I think Obama is an atheist but knows that would never work for him. Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do.

    Easy, unlike liberals conservatism is about individualism. There are plenty of conservatives that are either atheist or agnostic, myself included.

    Matter of fact at this very moment I’m listening to Frank Zappa who was a conservative and an atheist.

    You would do well by getting some diversity in your life and not listening to liberals tell you what conservatism is. Try talking to a conservative.

    I don’t disagree that “Libs!” tend to pigeonhole “CONservatives”

    But you need to recognize that the loudest conservative republican voices have done a better job of defining the group as a whole. If you would really like to point out your individuality, it may behoove you more to speak against the conservatives that try to define you than to blame MSNBC that interpret their generalizations from those top conservatives.

    Well Nacho, When ones political strategy is the Alinsky model of “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it” like that of Maddow or Matthews, it becomes a game of the other side playing constant defense. There is a reason that Matthews gave so much air time to a woman named Orly Taitz.

    Alinski’s tactics politically are brilliant! My favorite is Rule#5:

    “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. ”

    Liberals are great at this. Once Jon Stewart or SNL makes you a laughing stock, it’s hard to take any other thing a candidate says seriously. Conservatives haven’t really mastered that yet.

    When I talk to most people my age(35) they’re actually quite libertarian. PC annoys them, they think government wastes money, taxes are too high, and they prefer to be left alone to do their own thing. They want government out of their lives(and bedroom and body).

    I see a good trend of younger people leaning more on the libertarian side of things.

    Nacho, conservatives don’t want to be defined, it’s the exact opposite. Those polls are about who they would prefer to run as president not be defined by.

    In conservatism the individual knows whats best for their lives, not the politician.

    Government exists to protect our freedoms, not give us our freedoms.

    That includes economic liberty without insane regulations that only wind up hurting the little guy anyway. I know because I run a teeny tiny record label and it’s damn hard!

    I believe the evidence supports Obama as an atheist, (and therefore a liar) as well. If a just God doesn’t exist there is no reason not to lie. Obama knows the benefits of declaring himself a Christian. I also know what true believers talk like. He doesn’t talk like a believer. Even though he goofed in that Stephanophlos interview and called himself a Moslem, I don’t think he’s Moslem. A Christian could never make that mistake. Never. Therefore the evidence is… he is neither… Moslem nor Christian… He is Atheist and he is the kind of atheist does as you said what he has to do; he lies.

    George Bush talks like a Christian. He doesn’t have to lie. The only reason anybody would call that cynical is that there is a consensus on the left to call into question everything this honest man does or says. Now that’s the cynicism.

    Agreed that the partisan news media each have their attack-dog roles and play them in unprincipled and intellectually dishonest fashion. That said, I think the objection here is valid because of the the transparency of the PR effort to show some religion. You can just see the internal memo with point for “appearing to move to the ‘center’” that includes all of his post-November charades.

    If his recent spike in religious displays were consistent with past life, no one would make a note of it. Given all the questions about whether he’d ever even set foot in church for the first two years in office, however, the recent PR campaign is genuinely insulting.

    “a good number of Americans have no idea what his religious background is– a plurality admitting they have no idea, while an alarming number suggesting he is Muslim. This despite the President discussing his religion publicly and make clear that he is a Christian. ”

    because people can see through his bullsh*t.

    http://www.eyeblast.tv/public/video.aspx?v=ydaGZunzuz

    Obama made this statement after the Wright controvery exploded:

    “I believe that Americans will judge me not on the basis of what someone else said, but on the basis of who I am and what I believe in; on my values, judgment and experience to be President of the United States.”

    A lot of people are judging him on his own words.
    He sold himself as a Christian who attended Wright’s church every Sunday at 11am.

    “I go to TUCC every Sunday, Wright is my savior. I didn’t hear those inflammatory remarks! Wait, i did hear those inflammatory remarks, but I can’t disown him! He is my crazy uncle! It’s all about race, and being black! Wait, I disown him! He is just crazy! I never really went to church at all – I just said that to get elected!”

    He lied, and he got caught lying. Now people don’t believe him.
    His fault. And it doesn’t help that he attends church but twice a year, and golfs every Sunday, instead.
    He made that bed….

Let’s hear you speak out against the communist party participation in the one nation rally. You’ll have dailykos freaks up your ass in a heartbeat. Just ask your blue dog friends about it.

    The only reason Obama speaks of religion is because the “tea hates” spin the lies! Krauthammer is right about you shouldn’t get into the issue! The teas say he’s not a “christian”, with nothing to support the same by his actions! Yet, the “tea hate” claim christian values and they are one of the most hate filled, fear spreading foul, spin groups around!

    :) I had a moment of dyslexia, I could tell the word was misspelled but took a second to catch it. This is a good one as it is funny on many different levels.

    Obama’s religion is collectivism. It’s funny to see people argue over semantics when you have a Rosetta Stone that shows clearly that no mater how you put it, he is into Central Panning.

    Central Planning comes in all kinds of descriptions; Socialism, Marxism, Macro Economics, Democracy, and all sorts of Religions. But they all hold the same core principle, the few Ruling the many.

    Obama not only practices collectivism, he is one of its most powerful priests.

    True Liberalism stands alone against the various flavors of Central Planners.
